Ann Killion hit the nail on the head, describing the state of college football in the Chronicle:
"College football gets under way this weekend, and it seems the sport is doing its damnedest to destroy the two pillars it was built upon: passion and loyalty.
The current climate of college football comes off as purely transactional: It has become a sport played by and coached by mercenaries, moving from team to team in a relentless pursuit of money. Also thanks to greed, traditional rivalries have been destroyed, proud conferences blown to smithereens and fans are left wondering when the game is, who the players are and why the heck their team is playing Florida State instead of UCLA."

"How much does a Power 4 starter cost at each position? To answer that question, ESPN surveyed more than 20 college general managers and agents. The goal was to better define the price ranges for each spot based on the deals completed for 2025 and what each side considers fair positional and market value."
